Time spent in the garden helped save our sanity
The end of a year like no other. When gardening helped save many people’s sanity, including mine, and made some of the loneliness bearable. I won’t be too unhappy to see its back.
I started sowing seed in trays at home in early March. I had a deep need to nurture. Helpless baby plants for helpless times. It was unclear in early lockdown whether plot visits would be allowed. Then came the OK. And the sun shone. And shone through spring and early summer.
